Question

How can I suggest to the guests at my baby shower to send me gifts instead of bring them?

Share

My sister is throwing me a shower. She lives in Ohio, I live in New York. I will be traveling by plane and with all the airline restrictions and charges, not to mention the things I should not be carrying, I would rather have my gifts shipped. Can I ask guests to do that in the invite?

Or you can just ship them yourself? I mean like you are getting gifts for free and it would be cheaper to just bunch them all together and ship them out yourself. I may be wrong but I thought the whole point of a baby shower was to open the presents in front of the guests?
